In addition to the strong cast members mentioned above, standouts included Heather Engebretson as the Chinese daughter Li, bass Aubrey Allicock as the Grand Inquisitor, Karen Vuong as Zhou, a Red Guard, and Meredith Lustig, Laura Mixter and Rachael Wilson as the Andrews Sisters trio, who also operated dancing puppets, adding an additional layer of comic grotesquery to the moment.
